Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn)

Mitth'raw'nuruodo, better known as Grand Admiral Thrawn, was a male Chiss, a Near-Human race with blue skin and red eyes, and was a brillian tactician. He led the remnants of the Imperial military until he was assassinated by his bodyguard, a Noghri called Rukh. Thrawn employed Noghri as his assassins and bodyguards; one of the killers sent to capture Princess Leia detected Darth Vader's scent on her, demonstrating an extremely attuned sense of smell common to this race. In Heir to the Empire, I have seen Thrawn's brilliance. I have very limited understanding as far as battle tactices and maneuvers, but even I can sight his brains through that haze of ignorance. Even though he's on the Imperial side, I am in awe of whoever thought up his moves!
